I would place a sizable wager, however, that next to no one says Billy Wilder when thinking about the 1970s. Wilder's most celebrated work is likely "Sunset Boulevard," the scathing, cautionary tale of Hollywood gone wrong - squarely defined by its 1950 release date. "The Apartment" is another seminal work, thag one positioned firmly in 1960 corporate America. "Some Like it Hot," "The Lost Weekend," "Stalag 17," hell, even "The Fortune Cookie" each made their way into the marrow popular culture, breaking through the crowded zeitgeist to represent something tangible about their respective decades.
